Ever feel like going on adventure and wish there was a resource that could instantly tell you all the cool stuff around you to do? Well that's what Local Guru does. It's an amazing new app...really more than an app...a great resource...that let's you instantly see what cool adventures, activities and interests are close by and hooks you up with a 'guru' to lead you on your adventure or activity. Using your location you can see a list of adventures led by a local expert or 'guru'. Perhaps you want to take a hike, or learn to surf or go horseback riding or a mountain biking adventure. It's a great tool to explore wherever you are and geared to the outdoors adventurer in us all. Even better, it lets you filter for price and proximity to your location. You also can click on the map to any location and do a search in that area to see what is available in other areas. Just think of the possibilities of planning a trip or vacation and being able to tap the location on the map and book a cool adventure where you're going to be.

Now the founder of 'Local Guru' is a great guy named Joseph I had the pleasure of meeting recently in Santa Monica. Joseph and his team put a lot of effort into procuring only quality adventures and activities led by knowledgeable experts in whatever the adventure is. The app is constantly being improved and refined and new features are being introduced all the time to ensure that the adventures you go on are of the highest quality. Give 'Local Guru' a try and if you have any ideas to make it even more useful feel free to send them a note. Make sure any local experts and 'gurus' you know sign up to offer their activities through Local Guru's app and help spread the word and make Local Guru the national sensation it deserves to be.

I downloaded Local Guru figuring it would be interesting when we travel. I decided to test it and could not get it to work. It identifies that I'm living at the NJ Shore, but can find nothing within 500 miles. I should be seeing thousands of things. I live in a tourist haven and even NYC is within 500 miles. I tried all of the "filters" settings but still show zero results. Sent an email to Joe and hope to hear back.

I actually just heard from Joseph a few weeks ago. He said he had stopped working on Local Guru and was trying to sell it. I have a feeling it's not active anymore. I think i'll take the page down in the next few days when I have something new to put up. Thanks for trying it though. It was working last year when I put the story up but I think it never got enough users to make it worthwhile for Joseph to continue with it.
